A heavy, rounded sans with an oblique slant and broad proportions. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth, inflated curves and subtly softened joins, giving letters a robust, “pillow-like” solidity. Counters tend to be compact and the apertures are relatively tight, creating strong dark shapes and a high-impact rhythm. The overall construction favors simple geometric forms with slightly squared-off terminals and a steady, even texture across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where impact and personality matter. It fits branding systems that need a confident, approachable voice—especially in sports, casual food and beverage, youth-oriented products, and packaging. Use with generous spacing and larger sizes to keep counters clear and preserve its lively slanted rhythm.
The tone is bold and upbeat, with a friendly, sporty confidence. Its rounded mass and forward slant suggest motion and immediacy, reading as attention-grabbing rather than refined. The feel leans toward playful retro display energy while staying clean and modern enough for contemporary branding.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that combines rounded geometric construction with an energetic slant. It prioritizes punch, friendliness, and immediate legibility in titles over extended reading comfort in long text.
In the sample text, the dense color and tight internal space make it most effective at larger sizes; at smaller sizes the compact counters and heavy joins may begin to close in. Numerals match the letterforms’ weight and roundness, supporting cohesive headline and badge-like applications.
